Teaching and Learning Sequence:
When the students enter the classroom they will enter with desks in groups of four which will be about five groups of desks in the classroom. The students will be hooked with a video while they are coming into the classroom. I will then have the students go into groups to discuss impact of the Civil War on race relations today. They will then report back to the class and finally blog about the ideas that they concentrated on.
I will now give the students time in groups to explore different possibilities of how the Civil War impacted race relations today.In the various groups I will be appointing a moderate, recorder, and a reporter.
After the groups are done discussing the impact on race relations they will report back to the class to spark a class discussion on the impact of the Civil War on race relations in present day America. Each group will have to give a brief report to the class. Then they will lead themselves in a class discussion until personal reflection time.
Finally, the students will self-assess and blog their thoughts on the impact of the war on race relations today. After blogging they may choose to begin on their powerpoint presentation in class. I will then review the blogs and post comments on the students personal reflection and thoughts.
